If I could get a special gift from Santa, he would treat me to more time. I would love more time to cuddle with my kids, play games with them, bake all of those recipes I tear out of magazines, and watch the shows I record on my DVR but never get around to watching. Ok, that's my fantasy gift and not even Santa can help me out with extra hours in the day.

However, I grew up listening to my mom say, "God helps those who help themselves." So, this holiday season, I decided to take matters into my own hands and carve out more time in little ways. I shopped almost entirely online (thanks QVC.com!) and tried to ignore unnecessary household chores outside of school hours so I could enjoy more time with my daughters. My husband even bought me one of those robotic floor cleaners, which I have been using every day and absolutely love (don't judge - I'm really into clean floors!)

Now, if Santa can't bring me more time and I already have clean floors, I would love if he restocked my supply of favorite beauty products. I hate to think of a day without my Philosophy Purity face cleaner, Dr. Denese SPF 30 Daily Defense Cream, and Perricone MD products. I'm also really into Ole Hendrickson's truth serum and all things Josie Maran. Hmm.. I also need more L'Occitane hand cream, Peter Thomas Roth Unwrinkle, Kate Somerville"s Quench, Perfect Formula, and Julep for my nails....

Hey, maybe that's why I don't have enough hours in the day - I'm spending too much time at my bathroom sink.
